Hoi, I'm Rodrigo.

Originally from Brazil, I am now a Dutch citizen. I hold  two PhDs (double degree): one in Economics of Innovation at Maastricht University (the Netherlands) and another in Science and Technology Policy at the University of Campinas (Brazil). I currently work as postdoc at United Nations University-MERIT. I will start soon a second postdoc at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

My current research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate international scientific mobility, diaspora researchers, inequality in science, and community innovation survey. 

In my free time, I like traveling and attending (indie-rock) concerts.

Feel free to message me at ito@merit.unu.edu if you want to talk about international scientific mobility, economics of science, or scientific diaspora.
